Board Technology Governance
Establish or reset the investment, architecture, supplier and information-security decision framework and board reporting cadence.
Problem this solves
The board and executive team lack a clear, reliable view of technology risk, investment and progress. Decision rights and reporting are weak or inconsistent.
What it is
The engagement designs the decision rights, escalation routes and reporting rhythm the board needs, then supports the first cycles so the model is used rather than filed. Can convert to light retained support for early board cycles.
Key activities
- Assess current decision rights and reporting
- Design investment, architecture, supplier and security oversight model
- Define escalation and board cadence
- Support early operation
Outcomes
The board has a workable technology governance rhythm and the information needed to exercise oversight.
Deliverables
- Decision-rights and escalation design
- Board reporting templates and cadence
- Support through initial cycles
Boundary
Does not replace the CIO or technology function. Design and enablement, not permanent board membership.
What typically follows
Can follow Strategic IT Review or Operating Model Reset, or stand alone where governance is the primary gap.
